Overall i'm very pleased with this rope. It has a high fall rate.. and aesthetically it's nice looking. My only drawback for it is it's very stiff, and that hasn't improved with wear, like I had anticipated. The stiffness has it's advantages, such as it doesn't tangle as easily, but it's drawback is it's more apt to twist, sometimes making a hard rapel or to lower on belay. In general I like my rope, but, I wouldn't recommend it to people just getting into the sport, try a Blue Water. However, if you are in the market for a new rope I think it's beneficial to have one of these in your collection.
